Felapton Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Ok. This level 50th ability that's in a 120s cd. is a bit worthless for me. An advanced class that has to be able to tank well gets something that takes forever to use and it's meant for crits? Please revise this ability and change out to something more useful. suggestions? Group shielding, a temporary group guard or something that will help with mitigation or the the highly specialized and bragged about "Powertech's wear armor like a second skin". Just seems that a Juggernaut gets a 20s cd ability at 50th that is much better then what I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theology Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 DUDE I KNOW! It's not like we have 2 other DPS oriented trees.. OWAIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincentres Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Nope, ignore OP. I like Explosive Fuel. This. Especially if I stack it with my crit and surge rating relic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frmorrison Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Fuel is great for tanks too, pop that at a beginning of a boss fight to get extra aggro in case the dps get a lot of crits at the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems that a Juggernaut gets a 20s cd ability at 50th that is much better then what I can do. Flame Shield grants Rocket Punch/Flame Sweep 15% crit chance. Flame Surge grants 30% crit damage bonus to said abilities. Flame Shield also lets Rocket Punch refresh 50% of the time you shield an attack. More Rocket Punch crits = more single target threat. Explosive Fuel wasn't some asinine ability the devs thought Powertechs used for fun just because it sounded cool; they designed the ability to synergize well regardless of the spec you chose. There's a reason our level 50 ability is 25% crit and every single one of our trees has a 30% crit damage bonus to a select set of abilities. It's absolutely astounding how so many people feel the devs of this game are just randomly picking ideas out of a hat and implementing them. Everything exists as it is for a reason; very few things have really fallen under their radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prolyfic Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Wow this is one of the best burst dps self buffs in the game and ppl are still whining about it? I guess that goes to show you when a class is well balanced, people will STILL find things to whine about. An advanced class that has to be able to tank well gets something that takes forever to use and it's meant for crits? you do realize that crits build agro and tanks need agro right? Why would you want to put more iron on an iron-plated vehicle that can already survive any shot thrown at it.. when you could put nuclear rockets inside it instead? btw you can't compare cooldowns side by side for jugg and PT, they are two COMPLETELY different classes that need COMPLETELY different cooldowns to be competitive.

Raific Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Instead of blasting him and being plan arrogant, why not just help the guy out with the information he needs to be better in a nice way? I mean really people, are you that angry at the world that you have to flame anyone that misses something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exphryl Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 The only asinine thing about Explosive Fuel, is the fact it's part of a crappy 2PC PvE Set Bonus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raific Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I combine it with my Relics and get pretty over the top Crit bonus. Enough time to kill most... beside a Sage/Sorcerer. Also, for those who use a Macro Keyboard.. NOT THAT I DO... you can pop them both with one key and ready up for some crazy crits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean really people, are you that angry at the world that you have to flame anyone that misses something? actually I did, I wrote a post about why he shouldnt compare cooldowns between jugg and pt as a basis for analysis and linked it into my sig so it would be very easy to find and my frustration comes from seeing different people say the same things over and over. that's why I put it in my sig. people come to a forum for discussion and knowledge, but then just want to have their question answered immediately without reading anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spifnar Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 +25% crit is obviously a great bonus. Please don't feed the troll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattymcfatty Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 It helps to build threat. If you're not using this then you are a bad. I like to use it right before I drop an aoe like DFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varicite Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 It's incredibly awesome for 2/3 PT specs. And it's just pretty awesome for Shield Tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AetherMcLoud Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Explosive Fuel + Adrenal + Relic + Death from Above = BURN SUCKERS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheronFett Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Explosive Fuel + Adrenal + Relic + Death from Above = BURN SUCKERS! This combo wrecks multiples and is a big part of the reason why DPS Powertechs are this game's biggest secret, especially in PvP. And to the OP, learn to play. If you didn't know that crits help build threat for tank classes then you need to do a bit more homework before coming to the forums to QQ.
